SAYS SHE SAW A MURDER.
THE STRANGE STORY OF A DISSO-
Lutte MACON WOMAN.

The Ex-Sheriff of Jones County the
Man She Claims to Have Seen in the
Bloody Clutches of a Couple oi
Robbers-Her Own Narrow Escape
on the Rails.
MACON, GA, Nov. 9.-Maggie Galloway,
a well known white woman, was arrested
last night for being drunk and disorderly,
and was placed in the barracks. To-day
she told remarkable tale about r. F.
Cook, the ex-Sheriff of Jones county, whose
dead body was found in the Ocmulgee river
Sunday afternoon. No plausible cause
could be given of how it came there. She
says he was murdered by two white men
last Saturday night near the house where
Sophie Thompson lived, close by the park
and short distance below the Central rail-
road bridge, and his dead body then thrown
INTO the river not far from the boom where
Will Bass found hat which it was claimed
belonged to Cook.
TWO MEN ROBBING HIM.
Maggie Galloway says she had gone to
Sophie Thompsons house TO see her, not
knowing that she had moved, and her atten-
ton was attracted TO one of the men calling
Cook a - -. One of the men was
quite large and the other rather small, and
the smaller one accoSted his companion by
the name of Jack She saw the faces of
all the men by the light Of the matches they
constantly struck to examine the money and
other articles they took from COOK; she
heard Cook say: Gentlemen, will give
you everything have got rather than have
a fuss or be hurt. There is 81 50 III my
pocket Won have not taken vet.
STABBED IN THE HEAD.
As soon as Cook uttered these words
Maggie says she saw one of the strangers
raise his hand and in it glittered some kind
of bright, sharp-looking knife, and 1t was
plunged seemingly right behind the ear OF
Cook, and he fell down to the ground with
a groan. fhe men then picked up his body,
carried it to the river near by and threw 1t
in. She says she started to walk off, hoping
to get away in the darkness unobserved, but
the two men saw her and commenced to
pursue her. and called to her to stop, but
she only ran faster.
ESCAPED AT THE DEPOT.
The race was kept up until she had reach
ed the depot of the East Tennessee railroad,
when her pursuers stopped and went off in
another direction. She recognized Cook as
being the same man who gave her a drink
of beer on Wednesday night last in bar
room OF Bridge Row, and parties in there
called him by the name OF Bob" That
same night Maggie was put in the barracks
for drunkenness. aud released the next
morning Maggie says that her recollection
is that Cook did not have on hat when
talking to the men on the night he was
killed.
ASLEEP ON THE TRACK.
Maggie also says that yesterday afternoon
she laid down in - room to TAXI a nap
She was rudely awakened last night by the
rushing and roaring of locomotives
awakened from her sleep to fini her head
resting ON a railroad track and a switch
engine moving rapidly toward her. She
thinks that she had been drugged and was
placed on the track so she could be killed.

4 Great Head for Business.

From the Cloak, Suit and Ladies' Wear Reuie,c.
A lady went into one Of the small ware
stores in Boston recently and purchased a
bunch of a certain kind of beads of which
the ordinary price is everywhere &c. As she
had been all over town after them, but that
everybody was out of them, although u
steamer was expected in with plenty next
week. AS she turned TO go she heard the
manager, who had been standing near by,
say to the clerk:
MARK those beads up to 10c. till next
week. We may as well take advantage of
the market"
1t is said that fortunes are made by atten-
ton to trhes and surely man who could
improve an opportunity in this fashion is
sure to either accumulate wealth or to come
to utter ruin by his clever meanness.

THE PLEASURES OF HANGING.
Death on the Gallows Believed to be
Painless and Enjoyable.
From the London Lancet.

From the London Lancet
If those are to be believed who, having
been more or less hanged, have been reSus-
citated and have narrated their experiences,
the much-commiserated victim of the law IS
extreme penalty is not wholly miserable.
1t would seem that even death 'sus. per
coll has its ameliorating conditions of cir
cumstances. One sufferer in the religious
cause in France is said to have complained
because he was called back TO consciousness
from an experience of surprising delights,
in which he enjoyed the pleasure of gazing
upon the most beautiful scenery. The i'm
mediate sensation of pain is momentarv
and it would appear not unlikely that, in
our anxiety for the avoidance OF needless
annoyance to those we put to death
judicially, we may be actually increasing
their sufferings and diminishing their
pleasure
The instantaneous deaths have all the
pain and little or none of the pleasure
Slowly induced congestion of the brain
may be the least painful, and if only the
blood pressure be effecually raised at the
centre that sees, the beautiful light and
charming scenery are enjoyed III the highest
perfection. The subject is grim one, and
we are not sure that the new view of hang
ing experience tends to make the death pen
atty increasingly deterrent; but it is right
that both sides of a question which the late
Mr.. Whalley once excited the merriment of
the House of Commons by describing as "a
poor mans question: should be carefully
considered at all costs.

Husbands Murdered by Wholesale.

London Special to the Philadelphia Times.
A queer and most horrible murder story
comes from Pesth-one calculated to ruin
mans confidence in marriage and in women
generally. Young married farmers have
been dying off with dreadful suddeness in
the villages of Syrnia in Eastern Crotia
These young farmers were all brand-new
husbands, and at last their deaths all com
ing so soon after their marriage, excited
suspicion and the matter was investigated
IL was found that an old woman had con-
ceived the idea of getting pretty young girls
to marry farmers and then poison them and
divide the spoils. The old woman is now in
Jail, and so are seven young widows to whom
she had furnished poison with which to kill
these husbands These arrests have all been
made this week in single village, and lots
of other arrests are anticipated. Engaged
and newly married couples in that part of
the country are not very confident of their
standing at present.

Paralyzed While Trying on Her Wed
ding Slippers.

NAAAAs5 OAAGPOAo'
From the Baltimore american.
Miss Birdie Meyberg, a prominent and
beautiful belle of st. Louis was paralyzed
in that city under most remarkable circum-
stances. She is daughter of James Mey-
berg, senior member of the st. Louis firm
of Meyberg, Rothschild & Brothers. She
was engaged to be married on Nov. IA to
Alfred Gernsfeld of Albuquerque, N.
NJ. The wedding was to have been
celebrated in elaborate style, and
Miss Meyberg and her mother
were busily engaged in making
purchases for the happy event On Thurs
day last, Mrs. Meyberg ard her daughter
were shopping in the principal stores of st.
Louis, and finally entered store on Frank
lin avenue. Mrs. Meyberg left her daugh-
ter for a few minutes, and the young
lady called for some slippers. She was
leaning over, trying on her wedding slip
pers, when she fell over in an apparent
stupor The clerks. thought the young lady
had tainted, and applied cold water to her
face, but she did not revive A hack was
summoned, and the unconscious girl was
carried to her home, on the most fashionable
part of Olive street. Mrs. Meyberg re-
turned to the store, Ignorant of what had
occurred. One of the clerks told her that
her daughter had dropped dead. The poor
mother was almost overcome, hut regained
her composure, and was soon by the bedside
of the unconscious girl. Several physicians
were summoned. and after long consulta-
ton they decided that Miss Meyberg's right
side had been paralyzed, and gave as their
opinion that it was caused by rush of
blood. caused by over excitement. The
young lady is still unconscious, and there is
little hope of her recovery. Her intended
husband is on his way from Albuquerque to
st. Louis, but knows nothing about the pit
liable condition of his fiance. This case is
very remarkable and is attracting the at
tention of the entire medical fraternity of
